'The Swedes are getting better at handing in packaging for recycling, the
latest figures from the Packaging Collection, FTI show.
In 2021, 552,600 tonnes of packaging were collected in the country. This is the
highest figure ever recorded and an increase of six percent from 2020. In ten
years, the amount of packaging collected has increased by over 50 percent.
On average, each Swede handed in 53 kilos of packaging for recycling. An
increase of three kilos per inhabitant compared to last year.
"It is very gratifying that the packaging collection breaks records year after
year. There are unimaginably large volumes that must be taken care of when the
packaging has served its purpose. The commitment of the Swedes to recycling and
climate issues has resulted in an overall collection increase of 55 percent in
our nationwide system since 2012. Recycling is a small contribution that
everyone can make, and when there are many of us who do it together, it has a
big effect," says Helena Nylén, CEO at FTI.'
